Senior Analyst
PreAct Technologies aims to bridge the gap between collision avoidance systems and active safety technology. Every millisecond matters before a crash, and our patent-pending suite of sensor technologies, computing systems and unique countermeasure algorithms aim to drastically reduce fatalities and injuries in a crash.
Our Portland-based firm leverages existing vehicle infrastructure to predict and prepare both a vehicle and its occupants for an imminent collision. This alone can reduce a majority of injuries from the most common types of crashes while saving the industry billions annually.
PreAct Technologies is comprised of leaders in computer vision, optics, and parallel processing who have a passion for saving lives. We are looking for brilliant folks who share this mission and to push the boundaries of what is possible.
